José Zuccardi Malbec is a tribute wine that reflects both family legacy and the evolution of Malbec in the Uco Valley. Combining Malbec with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers depth, structure, and elegance in equal measure.
In the glass, the wine shows a deep, intense ruby color. The bouquet opens with blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, followed by notes of cocoa, spice, and subtle toast. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, with rich fruit, well-integrated oak, and firm yet polished tannins. The finish is long, persistent, and slightly savory, suggesting excellent cellaring potential.
This is a wine crafted for special meals, collectors, and Malbec lovers looking for complexity and ageworthiness.
